Today, I called my husband during my lunch to tell him that I wanted to go out tonight for my birthday. We got in argument because he said we couldn't afford it. When I got home from work, he was gone, so I called his cell to see where he went. Answer: to the bar with his friends. FML
I agree, your life sucks (27728) - you totally deserved it (1487)

Maybe he could only afford to because his friends were buying. But FYL nonetheless.

That's what I thought too. D:
Or maybe he did it just to piss off her wife because of the argument. >_o

Yeah, next time they should tell her he's cheating. She'll accuse him, he'll get pissed, and he'll buy more drinks for them.

Depending what she said in the argument, I don't blame him!
Besides, it doesn't said he got anything there.

Aww, that sounds terrible. Happy birthday though.
I have a feeling that there are gonna be some stupid comments about getting revenge and/or divorcing him.

Even if his friends did treat him out it doesn't justify that he still should've thought about doing something special for his wife.
#9 - On 09/26/2009 at 3:24am by O_HALEZ_NAW
Maybe they went out and it was their treat because it was celebrating the wife's birthday, just without her?

"...Golden Tee, shuffleboard, pinball, he's got the score
that everybody around here's tryin to beat,
he's a six pack up when he walks in,
tells the band crank it up to 10,
then he's up dancin on his seat,
well he's a big mouth, yellin' hey play some free bird,
says give me three steps and nobody gets hurt,
then he takes off his shirt
There's one in every crowd,
brings the party in us out,
good time charley with a harley, whiskey bent and hellbound,
he's got the next round, but he always drinks for free,
there's one in every crowd, and it's usually me,
hey ya'll, hey ya'll, hey ya'll, there's one in every crowd..."
You should know that marrying such a champ husband means he has to keep his rep

I'll send in a cowboy to help!!! because
"...The world could use a cowboy right about now
Run those bad guys right out of town
Round 'em up and hunt 'em down
The world could use a cowboy right about now
The world could use a cowboy..."

*Bitchslaps ireply*
Bastard. How dare you country up our conversation!
Mercy, when I look at your name, I instead see "merci" the French word.
I don't need help. I can kick my abductor's ass. I'd open up a can of whoop-ass, but I don't have a can opener.
#19 - On 09/26/2009 at 3:45am by Intoxicunt
He did. I'm tempted to bury the comment just so its countriness isn't glaring at my eyeballs.
#24 - On 09/26/2009 at 4:02am by Intoxicunt
Aww. But ireply is sweetness in a wet nap so he can country our asses off. But with less country if you don't mind. lols :D Unless it's Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton, Patsy Cline etc [:
I prefer my ass as un-country as possible.
I live in Tennessee, remember? So I'm already exposed to this shit and the accompanying lifestyle too much.
#26 - On 09/26/2009 at 4:38am by Intoxicunt
I hope you get all the comfort and confirmation you need from FML in that YES, he is a douche. It's not just you.
#14 - On 09/26/2009 at 3:30am by hi_from_HI
Aw that sucks! Sounds like somthing MY husband would do! Next time, come get me! We'll go out for your birthday lol
#16 - On 09/26/2009 at 3:37am by Lil_Crit13
Drinks are a lot cheaper than dinner, and if you couldn't afford it and argued with him about it he was probably feeling pretty stressed out and needed some time out.
#21 - On 09/26/2009 at 3:50am by Twinklestar
Depends on how many drinks you have and if he's stressed out he's probably having more than what it would cost for a dinner. It was her BIRTHDAY, that's why she wanted to go out! Being her HUSBAND he should have made it work. He's a jackass. OP, I hope that when his birthday rolls around you do the same thing.

You kill me with these puns! How the hell do they come to you so easily? *Bows down*
#28 - On 09/26/2009 at 5:01am by Intoxicunt
Do not bow. Puns are the lowest form of humor. Im like Carlos Mencia compared to some of the comedic geniuses on this website.
#30 - On 09/26/2009 at 5:51am by Triumvirate
*Bows more*
Maybe so, but your puns are very clever and quick.
Besides, mimes are the lowest form of "humor".
#48 - On 09/26/2009 at 5:22pm by Intoxicunt
Aww, that sucks. My husband did the same thing to me, but he went further and ignored me for 2 days after wards. I'm still mad at him for that, and it happened in May.
#29 - On 09/26/2009 at 5:09am by Artemisiii
WOW you took that shit? sounds like he just walks all over you. That kind of stuff doesnt slide. you didnt do anything wrong why the fuck should he be Ok to ignore you on your birthday?
Na, he is a really great guy, but when he get angry, he's a real asshole. He got mad at me because I pointed out a slight hypocrisy, and he took offense and stormed off on me.
Even worse, my mother had come from out of town (We live in the UK, she in Canada) to visit me for my birthday and to meet him for the first time, so this was a bad impression.
#58 - On 09/27/2009 at 5:14am by Artemisiii
So, your husband walks into a bar. Ouch. Serves him right tho... :P
Haha that joke is oh so terrible...
Fuck your husband.
Call up some of your friends and spend as much money as you want. Do what you want, its YOUR birthday.
Happy birthday xo.
So let's see....having the special guy in your life remember one or two special days a year like your b-day or anniversary are important to you....so you married a guy who doen't give a rats ass. On top of that, you had to actually ask him to take you out to celebrate - he should be able to remember that and do something special, even if it's a bucket of KFC with a freaking ribbon around it and a card. I'm just curious as to what other areas he's also lacking. That totally sucks....and now we see why ashleymadison.com is doing killer business.
Asshole of a husband. My gosh it's ur birthday and he doesn't even come home. What a dick.
P.S HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Too many negative votes, comment buried. Show the comment.
Keep in mind : You live with him 24/7... And your birthday is not a more exceptional day than any other day.
And about the money issue : Going to a bar with friend does not necessarily mean spending money.
Let the man be, woman. If you're going to be living the rest of your life together you better not get worked up over trifles.
I'm going to sound like a hippie-pot-smoking-bum but... Don't let corporations run your life! Birthdays are just as much corporate scams as Christmas, Halloween or Easter, etc.
You deserved it for being such a pawn.
ok, konrad ur an a-hole the fact that the guy isnt even with her on her birthday means hes a complete douche... girl you can do better....
#49 - On 09/26/2009 at 5:23pm by explodingpupppet
To leave you alone on your birthday? Thats really fucked up. But he sounds like a really great guy !
hahah nott. stand up for yourself and tell him something. Dont take shit like that.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY !
hope reading all the other FML's helps. :]
I cannot believe this is first time he's pulled a douche move like this. You knew what you were marrying and now unfortunately you have to live with it.
#53 - On 09/26/2009 at 9:17pm by startrekker
not to be mean, or too blunt, but your husband is a dick. no offense. =[ fyl.
#54 - On 09/26/2009 at 10:12pm by desichick23
Time to check where your relationship is. That's really fucked up.
#57 - On 09/27/2009 at 2:27am by FoundManyLemons
He seems like an ass. It's time to re-evaluate your options and consider getting out of this relationship while you're still young (and if either of you are over 30, than he really is a fuck-up). He seems very immature and selfish to do this to you on your b-day. You need to be respected and your needs should be met. He seems to be taking you for granted. If you don't get a present this year (and an apology) than start thinking what this relationship is doing for you.
Oh good, another woman who thinks that it's okay for a guy to be an asshole sometimes as long as he's great sometimes. Negative trait prevails, he's an asshole.

Dump that shit it's what everyones doing now a days trade up or suck it up &tell him how u feel only strong ppl go for #2

Just go out with your friends for dinner and spend a shit load of money just to spite him, and do the same thing on his birthday, or divorce.
First, happy birthday. Second, kick his ass. Third, get dressed up nice and go to a classy bar and get a hot guy to buy you drinks all night.
I was thinking as I read it that you somehow ruined a nice surprise he'd planned for you. But that didn't happen. He's just a douche. I wonder if he picked the fight just to have an excuse to go to the bar... which would make him a big-douche.
Regardless if it's your birthday or not, he should treat you with some respect. Yet, I can't assume that he doesn't already, but that on this particular day he decided to be a douche. Don't let it bring you down too much though because it'd be silly to lose something wonderful (if it is wonderful. I wouldn't know, I don't know you personally) over something like this. Yes, it's your birthday, and I admit it was jerkish of him to go off and have a beer with his buddies but it also doesn't have to be anything fancy like. You could have a picnic in a park, a homecooked meal that he made for YOU, or something of that nature. And this is coming from a 17 yr old! Well, I've put in my two cents in and I do hope I contributed something good to this. yay?

Sounds like something my boyfriend does... for my 19th birthday, he lied to me about where he was (at a bar) an then broke up with me ON my birthday... then he has the nerve to ask me to "talk it out" an apparently while he was at this bar, he danced with 2 girls (an had yet to dance with me) an had a girl kiss him on the cheak, so he says! I also found an account of his on Fling.com (a 1night stand site) that he PAID for a GOLD membership an all the pictures on his profile were either taken with my camra phone, camra, or taken at the farm I use to work at! when I got his walmart money card (I set it up so I knew the password) I found out that he had paid for this account when I was 4 weeks pregnant with HIS child! He also came home so drunk he couldnt even stand up without falling over, 2 days after I miscarried HIS child, but he said he was at "work"... their all assholes. they'll never change. if you get a good one, hold onto them! cuz their 1 in 1,000,000
My boyfriend does that when I try to go shopping. I always point out how much he spends on beer and he backs down.
Love and marriage don't require money. If it really was about the money its called romantic surprise dinner at HOME, or a romantic evening at HOME, cheap sweet and more thought into planning meaning they give a damn. My boyfriend does not act that way, its a surprise to see men so mean to their women. It is called you and your significant other are equal and should both be respected and loved.
